Shredded Beef Barbecue
This beef roast simmers for hours in a homemade barbecue sauce, so it's very tender and easy to shred for sandwiches. The mixture freezes well, too.

What a great recipe! I salted the sirloin tip roast and left it overnight then did everything as the recipe suggested. I didn't brown the beef first though. When I pulled the beef out after 10 hours it fell apart. So easy to spread. I felt there was a bit of fat from beef in the juice so ran it through my soup strainer then added a heaping tablespoon of flour with some ghee into the crock pot and slowly whisked the juice back in to thicken. Then put it on high to thicken for 10 mins or so then added the beef back to the pot. The juice was so good I didn't want to loose it all when it was served. I know the boys are going to love this!
So, so, SO good! I ended up using a couple pork steaks since I was out of roasts, and they didn't disappoint! Shredded very nicely, I think I may omit the water next time as other reviewers mentioned doing, there was quite a bit of excess liquid. Otherwise, this was absolutely amazing! The house smelled great when I got home from work after this had sat in the slow cooker all day - it reminded me of grandma's house growing up, she must have used this recipe since I know she was a Taste of Home fan as well!
I did not have time to brown the roast beforehand. Cooked all day and turned out fabulous - perfect bbq flavor for my family & they loved it! Very easy to shred. I did omit water, too.

disappointing. did not really have much of a bbq flavor. it did shred nicely but we had to add bbq sauce to the sandwich to make it tasty.
Very easy. Thanks for the tip to omit the water. This fit in my 3-qt slow cooker with room to spare. I don't see how it could feed 12 people, though - it's more like 6 servings.
This is tasty! I don't use any of the water called for in this recipe.
